Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−1, 5) and has a slope of 3 in point-slope form. (2 points)

Answer 1

Correct answer: y - 5 = 3(x + 1)

2 of 2 points

Answer 2

The point-slope form: $y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

m = 3; (-1; 5) $\to x_0=-1;\ y_0=5$

subtitute

y - 5 = 3(x - (-1))

y - 5 = 3(x + 1)
